According to the Utah Division of Securities, Iraqi Dinars are #2 on the list of investor scams to watch out for in 2006:

"Iraqi Currency: Advertisements in newspapers promise wealth by purchasing the new Iraqi dinar. Promoters explain that as democracy comes to Iraq, the expected peace will stimulate the economy and value of the dinar. What investors are not told is dinars can be redeemed only in Iraq and the sellers already have doubled their money. Thus, the dinar would have to more than double in value and investors would have to book a trip to Iraq to collect any profit."

Only "Instant Messaging Stock Tips" ranked higher on the list of scams. This again points to the importance of doing your homework first and shopping for the best deal on dinars IF you believe they are a worthwhile investment.
